Andrew Chafin agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Chafin, 34, returns to Detroit after splitting the 2024 season between the Tigers and Rangers, posting a 3.51 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts over 56.1 innings. While Tyler Holton and Sean Guenther are currently the top left-handed relievers on Detroit’s roster, Chafin’s experience and strikeout ability could give him a shot at securing a bullpen role if he performs well in camp.
The Rangers have declined their club option on Andrew Chafin.
Fantasy Impact
Chafin will now be free to test the free agent market. The 34-year-old posted a 3.51 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP with the Tigers and Rangers last season.
The Rangers have acquired Andrew Chafin from the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Chafin will provide a veteran left-handed option for the Rangers’ bullpen. The 34-year-old has a 3.16 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP this season.
Andrew Chafin has agreed to a one-year, $4.25 million contract with the Detroit Tigers according to Evan Petzold.
Fantasy Impact
Chafin’s deal includes an additional $1.25 million in incentives for 2024 as well as a 2025 club option worth $6.5 million with an additional $1.25 million worth of incentives. The left-hander split time as a relief option with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Milwaukee Brewers in 2023, posting a 4.73 ERA while also registering eight saves in 63 relief appearances between the two clubs. Chafin will likely slot into a regular middle or late-inning role as part of a Detroit bullpen led by returning closer Alex Lange for manager AJ Hinch this upcoming season.
The Milwaukee Brewers have declined their club option on left-hander Andrew Chafin.
Fantasy Impact
Chafin's pricey $7.5 option was likely to be declined after a down season in 2023. The southpaw worked to a 4.73 ERA between the D-backs and Brewers after posting a healthy 2.83 ERA with the Tigers in 2022 and a sterling 1.83 ERA between the Cubs and A's in 2021.
